From Infinity for you to go beyond…
IT sounds like something out of a 1960s episode of The Saint or Adam Adamant (kids, ask your dads!) but Infiniti describes its latest offering as rakish…
With lots of style and the performance to match, the Infiniti G37x S comes with all-wheel drive and is the company’s latest addition to the G Saloon range.
For the first time, the sportiest S grade with AWD is available in the G range, instead of just the GT variant. As with all the other offerings in the G range, the car comes with a 316bhp (320PS) 3.7-litre V6 coupled to a seven-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift. This gives a 0-62mph time of just 6.0 seconds.
And with Infiniti’s torque-sensing AWD system aboard, the swift pace is available virtually irrespective of weather or road surface. The car has a top speed of 149mph and an official combined fuel consumption of 25.7mpg (11.0 l/100km) with CO2 emissions of 255g/km.
The newest G model costs from £38,979 and bears all the style, features and technology that set the Infiniti brand apart. The sole AWD model in the G line-up for 2012, the G37x S is distinguished by S hallmarks such as red S badges, 18-inch Sport design alloy wheels and smoked lens headlights. Inside, features include sports seats, with 14-way electric adjustment for the driver, and aluminium pedals and footrest.
It also comes with the multimedia pack of hard disk drive (HDD) navigation and music systems, 10-speaker Bose Premium Sound System, reversing camera and high resolution touch screen. Like every G model sold in the UK, leather seat facings, Shodo aluminium trim, adaptive bi-Xenon lights, Scratch Shield paint, i-Key smart access, electrically adjustable front seats and steering column, and heated front seats are standard. The only option for any G model is metallic paint (£577).
The G37x S takes its place in a new-look G line-up. The flagship G37 S Premium (£40,619) builds its credentials with keen drivers thanks to 4-Wheel Active Steer (4WAS), sports suspension, sports brakes and Viscous Limited Slip Differential to get the most from the balanced rear-drive chassis.
It also comes with Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) among a suite of electronic safety aids. Two GT models, both now in rear-wheel drive form only, make up the entry point to the range.
The G37 GT costs from £34,909 while the GT Premium — with Multimedia pack and sunroof among its extras features — costs from £37,849 OTR. The G family in the UK is completed for 2012 by the G37 Coupé (from £36,359) and G37 Convertible (from £45,235), both of which continue unchanged.
